75 for an AppleDesign keyboard is mental. Time was you couldn’t give them away without paying for the shipping!
I have some of those caps, btw, and they’re no AEK substitute let’s put it that way. I got them for free with another sale.

Thanks for the tip, like I said prices are for negotiation - any other prices suggestion are appreciated.

35 is much more reasonable for the keyboard that killed all hope at Apple!

May I ask where that AT board with skcm blue come from? I have a small keyboard with skcl green and the similarity in design is just too much to ignore here!!!! And i have no idea where did my little board come from, and I would love to know

"Killed all hope for another good mechanical keyboard in the future." The AppleDesign Keyboard was Apple's first non-mechanical keyboard and Apple never went back to mechanical.
There is a version of the AppleDesign Keyboard that does have PBT dye-sub caps that are Alps mount. The wiki says that these were only on Czech-labeled ones. The others were pad printed.
I just bought Thailand-version ADK to complete a full system that I'll eventually list for sale and it's not a bad keyboard. I paid about $35 US and it's cosmetically perfect.

Haha I think that still stands true for all non czech ones. but this one is black which is a little rarer. updated price isnt too bad. I have a bunch of apple designs with jp characters i dont know what to do with lol
